Buzzfeed News is a far cry from normal Buzzfeed. They are more of a traditional news organization. They have actually gotten quite a few awards for their investigative journalism including being finalists for two Pulitzers:

They should change their name. I wonder how many people ignore the articles when they see "Buzzfeed". It would be like the National Enquirer trying to start a serious arm under "National Enquirer News".

I've seen this article headline/link at least half a dozen times in the last 24 hours and avoided reading it until this comment thread _precisely_ because I saw BuzzFeed.

I almost closed it right away when I saw buzzfeed but read on and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this article. Of course I kept saying in my head “who cares what these idiots say, do the forensic work to put them away for life” every time the article went on and on about the lies these dumbasses spawned to cover their asses.

Isn't this also the part of the company that has recently suffered mass lay-offs? Seems like they're axing the wrong part.

The cuts were distributed roughly equally across all divisions.
